    any chance you're seeing APR/AVR followed by 24? The French for April is Avril, and your passport might expire in 2024. – Kate Gregory Jan 9 at 15:23

They are written in the following format:

Day English-Month /French-Month Year

So for example:

01 Aug /Aout 25

For 1st August 2025.

Your date is simply 8th April 2024.
